f2l

Hello Speedsolving.com'ers, After receiving many requests about the random fingertricks I do I decided to make a video on all of the universally useful ones. Let me know what you guys think. I didn't do any move cancelations stuff such as WV or VH or COLL/ OLLCP seeing as how those are more...

Hello everyone, i have just joined the forums. I am very interested in cubing. I am currently working on learning the PLLs and improving my look ahead for F2L. can anyone please suggest some good videos for the above? Thanks a lot!

This will be an F2L forum competition on the 3x3 Rubik's cube.A new round will begin every Wednesday and Saturday at around 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time.So,each round will end when the new round begins.There will be 2 categories: One-handed and Two-handed solving.I will give 12 scrambles for...

After few first tries, I got Sub-1. Have anyone done this before (on video at least)?

I can not seem to find someone that can explain the Petrus Method to me>>>>> you tube has been no help as all the people that put videos of them selves on there are downers and cant teach for there lives.>>>>> all i need is to get the intuitive f2l inside out. please help. any suggestions ...

You want to know what? I know fridrich f2l and full pll. I don't see why I have 40-50 second averages. I have a friend of mine. he knows fridrich f2l. He calls oll the "fish method". otherwise you would think that he has not so good time. but he has 18-20 second averages. DON'T tell me to buy...

Hey Everyone, So I learned Full PLL and i know about 20 OLL and i really want to get Sub-20. ianography told me on youtube that i need to get F2L down to around 12 seconds. I know a lot of little intuitive F2L tricks but it still takes me around 18 seconds. So I was wondering if anyone...

I've been solving the cube for about 2 years and I started with Dan Brown's method with all of the R'D'RD and I inevitably progressed to intuitive F2L, and 3 Look LL...But still my time sucks... I average 40 seconds... I have practiced all of the cases, have a good cube, tried just about every...

EDIT: Whats the correct syntax to get an cube drawn? Consider the case when just two F2L slots are left, an edge of on slot and an corner of the other slot is already filled. Doing a D-layer move , doing XLS (mixed last slot), undoing D move : is an obvious strategy to finish F2L with just...

Hi! First some background: I've been cubing for a while now and even though I've learnt some other methods, I still use Petrus for F2L + EO, which gives me just a few OLL cases and then full PLL, which I know. With this, my best average is roughly 27 seconds. I feel that what I need to...

I am wondering if there are are any advantages of being not color nutral, i struggle to remember what color i solved the cross on when i am doing f2l. If it was the same color I wouldn't have that problem. Should i stop being color nutral? Please help

Presenting… the simplest F2L tutorial in the world! RiDo’s Hunting Story for F2L and RiDo’s Bonus Video Intro: The Fridrich (or CFOP) method is one of the most popular and fastest ways to solve a Rubik’s cube. In under 1 min to around 15-20 sec. However in CFOP (Cross-F2L-OLL-PLL) the F2L...

So, I'm working on another lolmethod. If someone can help me with alg-finding, that would be awesome; others can now and later use this thread to request help with alg-generation/finding for odd systems that they're working on. What I need is this: The flipped edge ELS cases with each 6 CPLL...

I just learned f2l yesterday and I can do it now by memory but it dramatically increases my solve time. I feel like I have to think about what moves I am going to do and I also feel like I'm constantly searching for pieces around the cube. Will I get better over time? How Do you guys know where...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7sC-kaz62E Looking ahead and turning at a consistent pace is very important in F2L. In this video, I demonstrate that by looking ahead and turning at a steady pace, you don't need to turn extremely fast during F2L to achieve sub 20 averages. Average: 18.55...

I've been cubing for a few days, and have gotten my beginner's method solves to sub-1:30 with relative ease. In the effort to further improve my times, I researched speedcubing methods and decided to pursue Fridrich for the time being. When doing the beginner method and solving the...

Is this a thread where I get to ask a question? :confused: What makes an alg a "2-gen?" I've heard this term and I don't understand.

Read before posting. Search before posting a question. The "search thread" tool in this thread can be used to see if someone already asked a similar question here. Depending on the question, you may also find answers on the Speedsolving Wiki, or in other threads. If you have questions about WCA...

I still have yet to see an EFFECTIVE (one that helps one intuitively figure out how to build an...) x-cross tutorial on YouTube. I understand how the dynamics of it is supposed to work; build a 2x2x2 WHILE solving the cross, but how does one keep track of the pieces fast enough to be able to...

I posted most of this in the Introduction forum but I'll repeat a little bit here... I've been cubing for almost 2 weeks now, not too intensely since i have the job/wife/child to take care of but I've been spending time with the cube almost every night at some point. I learned enough of the...
